of chloroplatinic acid of an organic diacidic base left 0.09 g of platinum on ig
\( 0.3 \mathrm{g} \) of chloroplatinic acid of an organic diacidic base left 0.09 g of platinum on ignition. The molecular weight of the organic base is :
- A. 120
- B. 240
- C. 180
- D. 60
Step-by-step solution
The chloroplatinic acid salt of a diacidic base has formula (BH2)PtCl6. From 0.3 g salt, 0.09 g Pt is obtained, so Pt fraction = 0.09/0.3 = 0.3. Molar mass Pt = 195 g/mol, so molar mass of salt = 195/0.3 = 650 g/mol. Molar mass of H2PtCl6 = 2 + 195 + 6×35.5 = 410 g/mol. Thus molar mass of base = 650 - 410 = 240 g/mol.
